court 10 adlnlt nlm. III Is unutrstOOu
that he has no wish to see Messrs.
Ayers and Scott punished, but he does
not care to have Judge Bond reversed
in the momentous matter OF jurisdic-
ton.
In view Of the dignity Of this case,
the Attorney-General OF Virginia and
the Commonwealth attorney OF Eau
guier being actually prisoners in the
Richmond jail, it is not doubted that
the Supreme Court viii order its writ
to issue, and, pending hearing, el-
large the prisoners upon their own re-
cognizance or upon bail. Mr.. Royal
has several times been before this court
on such writs, and that is the way he
has been treated.
PRISON LIFE.
Messrs. Ayers and Scott have hal
their chamber in the Jail supplied with
bedding and mosquito bars from the
Exchange Hotel, and are now getting
their meals from the same place, with
which arrangements, and constant cour-
tesies from the Jail officers, they are
managing to keep quite comfortable.
OFF FOR WASHINGTON.
Mr. Meredith, with papers in the
case, left for Washington last night,
and Mr.. Ayers then returned to jail.
This morning Colonel Gordon will
come from New York and meet him
there, and together they will go before
the United States Supreme Court and
present the petitions.
They are also authorized to get in

first information received by Judge j.
B. NcCabe, Commonwealth's attorney
of Loudoun, as 10 Judge Bonds deci-
sion committing him for contempt in
the coupon cases was through the col

surprised, as be had already expressed
his opinion as to what Judge Bond had
determined to do.
Mr.. McCabe received a letter to-day
from the United States Marshal asking
him to come to Washington, ID. c., and
deliver himself to the custody of said

he will doubtless DO tomorrow.
Judge McCabe also wired the Attor-
noy-General at the Richmond jail to-
day asking that while getting out papers
he get out his, and stating he would be
with him as soon as the Marshal took
him.

modest and retiring manners, but firm
and determined in his convictions OF
duty. and his arrest at this time is un-
fortunate, rs a murder trial comes up
in the Circuit Court, which convenes
here next Monday. and the presence OF
the Commonwealth attorney is al i'm
portant.
